This book has all the hallmarks of a classic Elfman score. He brings back the familiar Batman march for the sequel, but also invents two new themes: one for Penguin and the other for Catwoman. The order of the day was “operatic.” — more grand in scope than the original and more dramatic. Elfman certainly delivered! This score is over 400 pages of brilliant and nuanced orchestration, and whether you’re a veteran, or just starting out composing, there’s something to be learned in these pages for everyone.
